I totally agree with you that an accordion journal is so much easier to start in. If I make a regular journal I will rip and glue parts of book pages, etc just to get something down on the pages It works!
I wasn't going to watch another accordion jj video bot it started and I'm so glad it did. I loved how you ditto it and I want to do one and join your January challenge. I've never done any challenges, swaps or trades as I just watch the videos. You made me excited to try this one and I even turned on my bell for you and it's my only bell. I'm going to sew mine with my new expensive sewing machine using different stitches. I hope it won't hurt the machine as it was my 40th anniversary gift from my husband. I think if I just have it cleaned more often the paper dust won't hurt it. I loved your video. Great job. Get well and inspired for January as you've made me. I'm not into Christmas this year either do to health. Best wishes dear.
Oh I hope you do take part. I have been sewing paper and I’m really cruel to my sewing machine at times but it’s coped fine with my projects, albeit a broken needle or two fairly often. Cleaning it is essential and avoid wet glue. Also you can’t sew through glue gun glue. I hope you enjoy the process and make a journal xxxx
I'm glad you're feeling better to be able to do some crafting, I pray you continue to get better each day. I absolutely love the way you made this journal, I don't think I've ever seen it made like this before, such a clever idea, thanks for sharing your inspiration ❤
Hi Steph, I have never seen a journal base created like this. I just LOVE how it turned out. You are correct, the pages have so much interest. For someone who is unwell, you have created an amazing collection of items which will be brilliant in your journal. While I have been watching JJ videos for about three years now, I have yet to make an actual journal! I have only made some small folios and ephemera pieces. You have really inspired to give this method a try! I just love the collaged pages. Also, as a journal cover, I just LOVE the plain book cover. The colour and texture are fabulous, IMHO. I hope you feel much better soon and thanks so much for sharing. 😊🦘🐨🇦🇺
Oh thank you so much! It is hard to get going with junk journals because there is so much content out there which is why I like to keep it simple. I hope you will give this a go x
Love this, I'm definitely going to give it a try before I'm buried in scrap paper, thanks and I have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your work😊🇨🇦
this is such a versatile way to get all those bits and pieces of paper and fabric into one journal I love it ♡ I'm working in on at the moment and I've title it " Dear Diary"
Love this Steph, I have worked out how I can craft in the lounge next to Ed so might make some of those scrapy snippet strips, his mum will think I’m more barmy than she already does 😂
I am going to enjoy making one! Thanks for the inspiration.
